  • Amargosa Opera House and Hotel is a historic building and cultural center located in Death Valley Junction, in eastern Inyo County, California near Death Valley National Park. Resident artist Marta Becket staged dance and mime shows there from the late 1960s until her final show in February 2012. The Death Valley Junction Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned by the nonprofit established by Becket for the preservation of the property. The theater was part of a company town designed by architect Alexander Hamilton McCulloch and constructed in 1923–25 by the Pacific Coast Borax Company. The U-shaped complex of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style adobe buildings included company offices, employees' headquarters, a dormitory and a 23-room hotel with a dining room, lobby and store. At the northeast end of the complex was a recreation hall used as a community center for dances, church services, movies, funerals and town meetings. (en)
  • Het Amargosa Opera House and Hotel is een historisch gebouw en cultureel centrum in het desolate plaatsje Death Valley Junction nabij Death Valley National Park in de Amerikaanse staat Californië. De artieste Martha Becket trad er steevast op van in de late jaren 60 tot in februari 2012. De excentrieke Becket verliet in 1968 New York om op zichzelf te beginnen, wat – verrassend – lukte in de desolate Death Valley. Het theater is gebouwd als onderdeel van een bedrijfsdorp van de in de jaren 1920. Er waren kantoren, slaapzalen, gemeenschapscentrum en een hotel met restaurant, lobby en winkel aan het complex. Het geheel was in Spanish Colonial Revival-stijl opgetrokken, gebruikmakend van adobe als bouwmateriaal. In de loop van de 20e eeuw raakte het dorp in verval en tegenwoordig is alleen het Amargosa Hotel en één restaurant nog onderhouden en open. Het Death Valley Junction Historic District staat sinds 1980 op het National Register of Historic Places. In Nederland zijn dit theater en het verhaal erachter bekend geworden in het programma Max in alle staten van Max Westerman. (nl)
